and one penny...

...because you, sir, are a vile spendthrift.

Well, that's the first sensible thing

you've said all day.

Sold to one of the Mr. Bachs

for $100,000 and one penny.

- Thank you, sirs.

Congratulations.

Hey, come on, Hobson.

You know I've always coveted

the cutlery of Czar Nicholas II.

- Me too.

Oh.

Our last item up for bid today:

The suit in which Abraham Lincoln

delivered his second inaugural address.

Let's start the bidding at 50,000.

Do I hear 50,000?

I'll take it.

And the teleportation

device in which it stands.

If you think this represents a victory

over your mother's financial tyranny...

...you're deluded.

- Thanks for the spoon, Arthur.

- Anytime. Buy me a fork one day.

- Where's Bitterman with the car?

He said he was gonna be

by the big gray thing.

- Where?

- He said...

...the big gray sculpture thing

with things on it.

It was like a riddle.

He can be very vague.

It's the blind leading the drunk.

Hobson, you find Bitterman

while I wander off.

Wow.

What is this for?

Where's everyone going?

NAOMl:
This is actually not Grand Central

Station, it's Grand Central Terminal.

- Oh.

- Oh!

- Sorry.

- No, no, I was static in a thoroughfare.

Uh, I'm lost. Do you know where I can get

a drink, please?

Um...

This is really all I have.

Good luck.

- Come on.

- Coins.

- I played with these when I was a boy.

NAOMl:
Let's keep going. Time's a wasting.

Speaking of time...

...the clock behind me is one of the

most expensive clocks in the world.

NAOMl:
Thousands of people

pass through here every day...

...and no one ever bothers to look up.

It's magical. It's the only place

in Manhattan where you can see the stars.

But it wasn't always that way...

Oh, you again.

If you look in the corner you can see

one dirty brick...

...and the whole ceiling used to be

like that until it was renovated in 1998.

Wow, this is brilliant. If you like ceilings,

I've got a beautiful one above my bed.

That sounded cheeky.

I didn't mean that. It lights up.

Thanks for that.

If you direct your attention to the

opposite corner, you'll see a...

...police officer.

- Miss, I warned you about this.

You don't have a tour license

and now you're impeding foot traffic.

Come on, up, up, everybody up.

Officer, which law prevents

this radiant stranger...

...from finding the magical

in the mundane?

- MTA Code 1085.1, Section 5.

- Could you be more specific?

Hey. Hey!

- Oh, there's a chase. We're in a chase.

Sir, grab my Lincoln stick.

Chase!

My mind is racing. My heart is pounding.

This is my first chase, and I love it.

- Let me through, I'm a free spirit!

West on 42nd.

This is what I live for!
